A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
I like to use my hands and make things... It might seem pretty stupid or pointless but that doesn't matter... some of the most interesting work is the stuff that starts like that - out of a raw need for activity.
我喜欢用我的手做东西……这可能看起来很愚蠢或毫无意义，但没关系……一些最有趣的工作就是这样开始的——出于对活动的原始需求。
I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down.

When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. The first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want.
当你在做一件有创意的事情时，每个人都有一个想法，并且他们在推动它。当你第一次和别人共事时，你必须适应另一个人努力争取他们想要的东西的方式。
I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting.
我认为人类没有绝望就学不到任何东西。绝望是学习或创造任何东西的必要因素。时期。如果你在某个时候不是绝望的，你就不是有趣的。
Any long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them.

I frequently compose out the entire metric structure of a piece in modified cyclic form, where each cyclic revolution undergoes some form of 'variation' much as if measure lengths were concrete musical 'material.'
我经常以修改过的循环形式写出一首乐曲的整个度量结构，其中每一次循环都经历某种形式的“变化”，就好像度量长度是具体的音乐“材料”。
Once you have invented a character with three dimensions and a voice, you begin to realize that some of the things you'd like him to do to further your plot are things that such a person wouldn't, or couldn't, do.

At last the best of artisans ordained that that creature to whom He had been able to give nothing proper to himself should have joint possession of whatever had been peculiar to each of the different kinds of being.

The man who can reason properly can invent; and anyone who wants to invent must be able to reason. The only people who think that the one can be separated from the other are those who have no inclination for either.

Be no longer a chaos, but a world, or even worldkin. Produce! Produce! Were it but the pitifullest infinitesimal fraction of a product, produce it in God’s name! ‘Tis the utmost thou hast in thee: out with it, then.
不再是一片混乱，而是一个世界，甚至是世界。生产!生产!如果它只是一个产品中最可怜的无穷小的一部分，那就以上帝的名义创造它吧!这是你最大的本事，那就说出来吧。
In the house of words was a table of colors. They offered themselves in great fountains and each poet took the color he needed: lemon yellow or sun yellow, ocean blue or smoke blue, crimson red, blood red, wine red.
